Datarealm, a provider of trusted web hosting services, is proud to announce the introduction of a new and innovative cloud server platform that will empower clients to provision virtual servers and secure network infrastructure almost instantly. The Datarealm cloud is designed to make it easy for clients to quickly deploy high-availability virtual servers with automatic failover and recovery.

Security is a paramount concern for cloud service users, which is why the Datarealm cloud hosting platform was built from the ground up to provide an environment that clients can trust to keep their data safe and private. All virtual server networks hosted on the Datarealm cloud are protected by a virtual router and firewall, which is positioned between the private network and the public Internet. Additionally, clients are able to connect to their server over a dedicated Virtual Private Network, ensuring that all communication between them and their servers is encrypted and impossible to intercept.

In order to provide the best possible experience for users, Datarealm’s virtual servers make use of a hybrid SSD-based SAN for storage. SSD technology enables data to be retrieved from storage much more quickly than traditional spinning disks, significantly improving performance.

All Datarealm cloud networks are also equipped with load balancers, which intelligently spread load between the servers that make up a network, ensuring that no one node becomes overloaded. The combination of very fast network infrastructure, load balanced clusters, SSD-based storage, and guaranteed system resources enables clients to offer extremely fast web services to their users.

Among the other highlights of the Datarealm cloud hosting platform are:

Full root access to all cloud servers.

Multiple public IP addresses.

Multiple OSes with the ability to create customized system templates for the easy deployment of servers tailored to meet specific needs.

Sharable and resizable data volumes that can be managed with LVM.

“We’re very proud of the platform we’ve created,” said Andrew Auderieth, CEO of Datarealm, “Many hosting companies are releasing cloud products, but very few of them have Datarealm’s pedigree. With our new cloud hosting platform, we’ve applied our experience and expertise to cloud technologies and built a hosting platform that offers unbeatable value, incredible performance, and levels of availability that many hosting companies can only dream of.”

Datarealm’s cloud resources are metered and billed by the hour, so users are able to precisely plan their resource use and expenditure. Cloud servers range from 512 MB of RAM with 2TB of data transfer, to 30 GB of RAM with 10 TB of data transfer. All cloud servers include a 20GB system drive, with additional resizable data drives available as required.

We hope that you are already enjoying this holiday season. Here at Datarealm, we are not resting and we are extremely excited about extensive upgrades that we have set into motion. No area of service will be left untouched as we move and reorganize our equipment in our Phoenix datacenters to allow for upgraded power to all of our racks, a new core networking infrastructure, and new Internet connectivity from 4 of the top Tier 1 providers in the US.

Aside from increased speed and reliability, this will also pave the way for a new array of services such as a high density Datarealm cloud!

In order to complete these upgrades, in the coming weeks we will have rolling outages during our maintenance windows from midnight - 6am. At this time, this is a general announcement. We do not have specific schedules on which services will be shutdown at which dates. As those schedules are put into place, we will notify clients directly of their scheduled maintenance.

Each of our services will experience a single outage as we perform these upgrades, and should last no longer than 2 - 3 hours. Once the power and infrastructure upgrades affecting your server/cabinet have taken place, there will be no further outages regarding these upgrades. During the time of your outage, email will be queued on the sending mail servers and redelivered when service is restored.

Please keep your eyes on your inboxes for when we contact you with our specific maintenance schedules.

Datarealm is extremely proud to have received an Editors Choice Award for the budget hosting category from FindMyHost. This proves once again that being budget minded does not equate to sacrificing quality of service or support.
